Why we can't fake it you won't ever say

Both arms hangin' from the ball and chain

Tongue tied and twisted from braidin' the rope

Both arms hangin' from this faded hope

Both arms hangin' from this faded hope



Heard it in a whisper

Heard it from a jailor's song

Packed it in a suitcase

Lost it halfway 'round the world



Out beyond harm's way you gave a lift

Past the shipyard and the empty pit

And you saif that my cover was already blown

And one too many is the one I've known

And one too many is the one I've known



Heard it in a whisper

Heard it from a jailor's song

Packed it in a suitcase

Lost it halfway 'round the world



Oh, I wish you wary and I wish you wise

And then of course I wish you well

Rode into town on the back of surprise

And then of course I laughed like hell

And then of course I laughed like hell



Oh, I wish you wary and I wish you wise

Drove into town on the back of surprise



Oh, I wish you wary and I wish you wise

Then of course I wish you well

Rode into town on the back of surprise

And then of course I laughed like hell

And then of course I laughed like hell
